Q: What is "frosting"? A: Frosting is a white, chalky, vein like appearance and is a crystal growth of vegetable oils. The white marks are simply a characteristic of that crystal structure similar to the white marks found on chocolate. This is completely normal. When working with any natural wax like soy, you will have this type of natural occurrence that is unavoidable without putting additives in the wax. The lack of additives may cause the appearance to be rougher, but keeps our candles at a low cost, healthier for you and does not affect the frosting on their soy candles because it’s a great way to tell if it’s really made with pure, all-natural soy wax. Most soy candle manufacturers often add paraffin wax (called Para-blend) to eliminate frosting. If you don’t see it, then you know extras have been added to your candles therefore not 100% Soy Candles as they claim. Things like changes in weather, humidity, sunlight and fluorescent lighting can increase the frosting. Q: Do Soy Candles Have a Memory? A: Yes, soy candles do have memory. We recommend that you burn them for no less than 2 hours at a time. The optimal burn time is anywhere for 3 to 4 hours at a time. Doing so allows both the candle fragrance to distribute throughout a room, and it allows the soy wax to heat evenly to the sides of the candle, so that it burns down evenly and with minimal residue. |
